(Written by Guest Blogger Mrs. Y)
Not so long ago - or so it seems to me - I was an adolescent and chock full of sexuality. Now I am a suburban mom with a full-time day job, and getting my middle-aged freak on seems a lot less important to me in the cosmic scheme of [...]

Presentations and guest bloggers
This is a busy week for me.
Tonight, and then again on Saturday morning, I will be talking with the 2nd grade parents at the Austin Waldorf School (AWS). This group of parents approached me, and asked that I come and lead a discussion about sex education. AWS is a small school, and these [...]
alcohol and drugs and rape
(Written by guest blogger Wendy Harlowe.)
I said I would write about substance abuse and adolescent sexuality, but I am amending that. I think there are plenty of people who use alcohol and drugs without abusing them (experimentation lies in this realm), but I think my opinions still stand.
Instances of rape (including date rape) are [...]
Biology
(Written by guest blogger Wendy Harlowe.)
First, again, please feel free to e-mail me privately at wendyharlowe@gmail.com if you don’t want to post comments here. I look forward to hearing from you. I’ve been gratified by the response to my first post, including comments and private e-mail correspondence. (Over the years I’ve worried [...]
SXSW and a Guest Blogger
I am delighted to be attending SXSW Interactive starting tomorrow, Friday March 7th here in Austin. I intend to fully submerge myself in the rocketing pace of conversation, presentations, panels, and swag that is SXSW Interactive!
Among the really interesting events I will be taking part are the following:
What Teens Want Online and On Their [...]
4parents.gov
(Written by guest blogger JustAnotherTeen.)
My guest blog for this month will be about 4parents.gov. I found this website through a commercial (they are all on their site) and I must say, it kind of disturbed me. On the about us page, they said this:
“4Parents.gov is part of a national public education campaign to provide parents [...]
My Own (Bi-)Sexuality
(Written by guest blogger JustAnotherTeen.)
Hello again!
Karen has graciously asked if I will write about once a month here, so this is my first regularly scheduled post. I will likely post on the first Monday of every month unless I have something that I urgently want to write about. If anyone has any questions or ideas [...]
Your questions, my answers! (Part 2)
(Written by guest blogger JustAnotherTeen.)
“You seem very open, honest, and liberal, but you depict your parents as fairly rigid and conservative. How much do you think your parents impacted who you are and how did they do that? I like the person you present yourself as and I sense that you like yourself as well. [...]
Your questions, my answers! (Part 1)
(Written by guest blogger JustAnotherTeen.)
Although this post was originally supposed to be for Friday, I got so many good questions on Wednesday that I did not feel they would all fit in one post. That said, I am still open to more questions for the rest of today or until about 10 PM Eastern time. [...]
Sex Education, or the lack thereof:
(Written by guest blogger JustAnotherTeen.)
As many great teachers as my school may have, there is one that I absolutely cannot stand. I was supposed to take Health Education in my sophomore year and I really wish I had. Unfortunately it would not fit in my schedule till my junior year. The coach that left at [...]
